19th century: The American expansion was guided by the concept of <em>Manifest Destiny</em>, being that the people of the time believed it was their fate to expand and colonize the rest of the territory (that became what is now the U.S.), whilst pushing forward their virtues and institutions, with the urge to do so being irresistible to them.

20th century: The expansion of this period (that actually started in the final years of the century before) was called <em>Imperialism</em>, where the idea of gaining overseas territories, expanding American influence on international market by  expanding their industry and trade.

Similarities and differences: In both periods there was an interest in expanding American territories, although the ideologies behind those movements where different: in the former the belief of forming a great country through force of will was their core motive; conflicts with other nations and cultures were consequences rather than the motif. In the later the economic and power interest where the reasons for doing so; the expansion had many morally questionable sub-tones, such as racism and an exaggerated me-before-you approach to all, with conflict and war being promoted by one president of the time (Theodore Roosevelt).

What is the area of the triangle
nlexa [21]

Answer:

  • <u>3 unit²</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The figure attached shows the three points, Q(-2,5), R(4,5), and S(-5,4), in a coordinate plane.

The points Q and R have the same y-coordinate, then if you set them as the base of the triangle, the height from S to Q is the altitude:

  • Base: 4unit - (-2unit) = 4unit + 2unit = 6 units
  • Altitude: 5unit - 4unit = 1 unit

Area of a triangle = base × altitude / 2

  • Area of the triangle QRS: 6unit × 1unit / 2 = 3 unit²

That answer does not match either answer choice. But it is the area of a triangle with the given vertices Q,R,S.

If your vertices are others, you can just follow the same procedure: find the base and the altitude and use the formula for the area used above.

What major orbital problem of the late 1800s is solved by general relativity?
LiRa [457]
That would be the <span>precession of Mercury's perihelion.

In simpler terms this would mean that the Mercury's orbit, perihelion, did not behave as it should according to the Newton's laws.  That is its rotation of the orbit, the precession, was strange as it was at its closest to the sun at different places as it slowly moves around the sun.
